List of CADECA Locations in Havana and Cuba

What is a CADECA Foreign Exchange Office?

In Cuba, foreign money can be exchanged at any bank or at specialized, state owned foreign exchange offices called CADECAs. These CADECA exchange offices can convert foreign currency into Cuban currency. As mentioned, there are 2 official types of Cuban currency and you should familiarize yourself with these currencies before visiting Cuba. Once you arrive in Cuba, you can go to any CADECA exchange office and exchange your foreign currency to Cuban currency, which you can use while in Cuba.

The ones in hotel lobbies offer the worst exchange rates, while those at the airport are only slightly worse than the regular street-side CADECAs.

Book Testimonials

I like urban exploration, so I was happy to learn about the “hidden” places to explore in Havana. I loved walking inside the abandoned buildings. No other guides explain how to do this. If you actually want to explore Cuba on your own, and learn about Cuban life, you need this guide. Books from Globe Trekker, Lonely Planet and Rough Guide are pathetic in comparison.

The listings for the cheap casas particulares is awesome. I rented a large, private apartment, and it cost only $25 per night. I reserved the casa online and saved more than $10 per night. I avoided the hidden brokerage charges that other websites charge. Anyway, I saved a lot of money on a 10 day stay. Well worth the price of buying this book.
